Their U-Boot # loader checks for the string CAMEOTAG and a checksum in the kernel and # rootfs partitions. If not found it complains about the boot image. # Nevertheless it will boot if the tags are available in the secondary # boot partitions. If some day we want to overwrite the original vendor # partition we must have the tags in place. To solve this we insert the # tag two times into the kernel image. # # To understand what we do here it is helpful to explain how the original # CAMEO tag generation/checking works. The firmware consists of two parts. # A kernel uImage (<1.5MB) and a rootfs image (<12MB) that are written to # their respective mtd partitions. The default generator simply checksums # both parts and appends 16 bytes [<0001>] to each part. # The checksum is only an addition of all preceding bytes (b0+b1+b2+...). # A tag does not interfere with any data in the images itself. During boot # the loader will scan all primary/secondary partitions (2*kernel, 2*rootfs) # until it finds the CAMEO tag. If checksums match everything is fine. # If all 4 fail we are lost. Luckily the loader does not care about where # the tags are located and ignores any data beyond a tag. # # The OpenWrt image consists of a kernel (>1.5MB) and a rootfs. There is # no chance to add CAMEO tags at the default locations, since the kernel spans # both the original kernel partition and the start of the rootfs partition. # This would leave the kernel partition without a tag. So we must find suitable # space. # # Location for original kernel partition is at the end of the uImage header. # We will reuse the last bytes of the IH_NAME field. This is the tricky part # because we have the header CRC and the CAMEO checksum that must match the # whole header. uImage header CRC checksums all data except the CRC itself. The # for CAMEO checksum in turn, checksums all preceding data except itself. # Changing one of both results in a change of the other, but data trailing the # CAMEO checksum only influences the CRC. # # Location for original rootfs partition is very simple. It is behind the # OpenWrt compressed kernel image file that spans into the rootfs. So # the tag will be written somewhere to the following rootfs partition and # can be found by U-Boot. The CAMEO checksum calculation must start at the # offset of the original rootfs partition and includes the "second" half of the # "split" kernel uImage. import argparse import os import zlib READ_UNTIL_EOF = -1 UIMAGE_HEADER_SIZE = 64 UIMAGE_CRC_OFF = 4 UIMAGE_CRC_END = 8 UIMAGE_NAME_OFF = 32 UIMAGE_NAME_END = 56 UIMAGE_SUM_OFF = 56 UIMAGE_SUM_END = 60 UIMAGE_INV_OFF = 60 UIMAGE_INV_END = 64 CAMEO_TAG = bytes([0x43, 0x41, 0x4d, 0x45, 0x4f, 0x54, 0x41, 0x47, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01]) IMAGE_NAME = bytes([0x4f, 0x70, 0x65, 0x6e, 0x57, 0x72, 0x74, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]) CRC_00 = bytes([0x00] * 4) CRC_FF = bytes([0xff] * 4) def read_buffer(offset, count): args.uimage_file.seek(offset) return bytearray(args.uimage_file.read(count)) def write_buffer(whence, buf): args.uimage_file.seek(0, whence) args.uimage_file.write(buf) def cameosum(buf): return (sum(buf) & 0xffffffff).to_bytes(4, 'big') def invertcrc(buf): return (zlib.crc32(buf) ^ 0xffffffff).to_bytes(4, 'little') def checksum_header(buf): # To efficently get a combination, we will make use of the following fact: # crc32(data + littleendian(crc32(data) ^ 0xffffffff)) = 0xffffffff # # After manipulation the uImage header looks like this: # [......<000000><0001>] buf[UIMAGE_NAME_OFF:UIMAGE_NAME_END] = IMAGE_NAME + CAMEO_TAG buf[UIMAGE_CRC_OFF:UIMAGE_CRC_END] = CRC_FF buf[UIMAGE_SUM_OFF:UIMAGE_SUM_END] = cameosum(buf[0:UIMAGE_NAME_END]) buf[UIMAGE_CRC_OFF:UIMAGE_CRC_END] = CRC_00 buf[UIMAGE_INV_OFF:UIMAGE_INV_END] = invertcrc(buf[0:UIMAGE_SUM_END]) buf[UIMAGE_CRC_OFF:UIMAGE_CRC_END] = CRC_FF return buf parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Insert CAMEO firmware tags.') parser.add_argument('uimage_file', type=argparse.FileType('r+b')) parser.add_argument('rootfs_start', type=int) args = parser.parse_args() args.uimage_file.seek(0, os.SEEK_END) if args.uimage_file.tell() <= args.rootfs_start: raise ValueError(f"uImage must be larger than {args.rootfs_start} bytes") # tag for the uImage Header of 64 bytes inside the kernel # partition.
